The debut album by Kamaka Kukona is one of my favorites of the year! Here's a bit of info, a few song clips, and the link to purchase on my e-store site:

Kamaka Kukona ~ Hanu ‘A’ala Singer, composer, musician, and award-winning kumu hula Kamaka Kukona takes you on a beautiful journey with a combination of new and old mele (songs): six original compositions, two mele hula kahiko (ancient), two mele oli (chants) and a whole lot of love. Although this is his debut album, you may have heard some of his compositions on other albums, including “Hā ‘ena I Ka ‘Ehukai” (performed by ‘ALE ‘A) and “Lei Liko Ka Lehua” (performed by Darlene Ahuna).

Originally from California, Iʻve lived on Oʻahu for a number of years. Music has always been my passion and Iʻm fortunate to be able to work with and support many of Hawaiʻiʻs musicians. For such a tiny speck in the middle of a very large ocean, we have an amazing wealth of talent here! ~Lynn
